WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY about the opportunities we are missing in the Environment and the Economy?
Let's have a great conversation about our community's potential over beers and dinner at Freshwater Brewing Company.
Date: 9th February 2023
Time 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Venue: The Freshwater Brewing Co, 4 Powells Road, Brookvale NSW 2100
How can protecting the environment help the economy? What impact does conservation have on household bills? What public policy levers can be pulled to turn NSW's $10 billion deficit into a surplus, as Queensland has done? What future is on the table for us to transition to the clean economy and how do we get there?
